Perfect.
Great plugin

Works perfectly. NO issues at all
As other user said - simple and just works. No overkill with any ads that make it near impossible to use unless you get pro. We also use on reseller platforms for wordpress hosting and it works beautifully for business license. Software bundle makes it worth having. Thanks for a good plugin and not being overkill with your pro features leaving some value in your freemium plugins - perfect for start ups or beginners.

Works great 👍
A simple SMTP plugin that just works. it's easy to setup and configure. Unlike a lot of the more popular SMTP plugins, it doesn't clutter your dashboard with useless menus that are only there to upsell their pro version. Thanks for the great plugin 🙂

I've been using the SMTP integration from your plugin and it's rock solid. Emails are delivered instantly and I no longer deal with missing form submissions. Super reliable and easy to set up.
